“Gen Y is really quite distinct from Gen X; it's really self-involved and very narcissistic - their cameras are filled with pictures of themselves; Facebook, it's about me. It's a generation that's been pampered by their parents and their schools, given prizes for just taking part.”

“Gen Z became the first generation in history to go through puberty with a portal in their pockets that called them away from the people nearby and into an alternative universe that was exciting, addictive, unstable, and- as I will show-unsuitable for children and adolescents. Succeeding socially in that universe required them to devote a large part of their consciousness-perpetually-to managing what became their online brand. This was now necessary to gain acceptance from peers, which is the oxygen of adolescence, and to avoid online shaming, which is the nightmare of adolescence. Gen Z teens got sucked into spending many hours of each day scrolling through the shiny happy posts of friends, acquaintances, and distant influencers.”

“Genau das war es gewesen, was die Menschen von einst gefürchtet hatten: Die Skrupellosigkeit einzelner Auserwählter und ihrer Prophezeiungen, die ganze Landstriche vernichtet und viele Menschen getötet hatten, auf dem Weg zu ihrem Ziel.
Iani war ein Relikt aus alten Zeiten, seine Ansichten die der Magischen von einst. Zacharias hatte ihn nicht nach seinem Alter gefragt, aber er vermutete, dass er bereits am Ende des Zeitalters der Magischen viele Jahrhunderte gelebt hatte. Der Gelehrte hatte das neue Zeitalter genutzt, um die Menschen zu studieren, ihre Regeln kennenzulernen, aber er hatte sich nie mehr angepasst als unbedingt nötig.
Als Iani, der Beharrliche, hatte er sich vorgestellt. Aber das war im Grunde nichts anderes als Iani, der Dickschädel.”

“Gender is not something that one is, it is something one does, an act... a "doing" rather than a "being". There is no gender identity behind the expressions of gender; that identity is performatively constituted by the very "expressions" that are said to be its results. If the immutable character of sex is contested, perhaps this construct called 'sex' is as culturally constructed as gender; indeed, perhaps it was always already gender, with the consequence that the distinction between sex and gender turns out to be no distinction at all.”
